Don't have Bomars but I have Lewmar opening port lights with screens in the head and am toying with the idea of installing one in the v-berth hatch to allow air & light without the hatch having to be opened.

They look pretty good!

Anyone know the approximate size of the deck hole for the existing head portlights?

The cut out for the head windows in my 1977 is 6 1/4" x 15 1/4". The N2414 portlights are 6 1/8" x 15 15/16" so a little trimming of the opening will be required.
The width between the bulkheads is 23" so a wider portlight would fit.
I spoke to Bomar and there are a few frame and light choices. I am thinking about going with the powder coated white frame and the smoked lights as oposed to the anodized aluminum.

Steve,

Did you put the Lewmars in yourself? If you did, did you find it to be a good match? Any significant changes needed?

Thanks.

Great picture on a great boat! I still LOL when I think about the jingle from a store in Maine. It goes "You should have bought it when you saw it at.....Mardens"

Mardens was an retail ebay before ebay was invented. A few of my "scores" include 1/2 in hammer drill-$15, B&d table saw-$100 Carpet for basement-$300.

Now on to the point of my reply. The Lewmar ports were factory at some point. I am guessing when they went to the plexiglass windows. I have the same portlights on 5775. And you are only 3 Hn's away from being 5665..........

Tom.
